That you've ever been without a cat? For me, was about three years, from May of 1990 until April of 1993....When I married and moved into the trailer park that we started out in, we couldn't have cats (had hamsters though, lol). But just about the time we got ready to move, my landlady rescued one and asked me if I wanted her........that's how we got Miss Kitty!

I was without a cat for about 5 years back in my 20's. I became so allergic to them that I couldn't even look at one without getting symptoms. One day I decided to pet a friends long haired kitty and nothing...not even so much as a sneeze. I immediately went out and adopted Hannah and have had cats ever since with no problems, well major ones anyway.

I had to go without my baby for 5 months...i had it out with my apartment manager b/c someone broke into my apt twice....and i didnt pay my pet deposit so she stayed with my mom until i moved which was 2 months away so i wouldnt get in trouble...so when i moved i had to come up with 300.00 cash for my deposit so i saved for another 3 months and finally got her back. I didnt realize how lonely i'd be without her until she wasnt there...i had no one to talk to!!!!!!!

Here... or There... Hmmm
I didn't have a cat from 1990 - 2001. Me and mom moved from our house into a trailer and couldn't have cats. In 1997 when I graduated and moved out the apartment I moved into couldn't have animals. When me and BF moved in here I asked if we could have pets and landlord said YUP!! Got kitty in 2001 and wasn't even looking for her - she found me and I saved her... We love eachother!!!!!!!

8 years because that thing I used to be married to was a dyed in the wool cat hater, he would have killed any cat I'd brought home.

I had to work out if it was longer between Shado's passing and the acquisition of Annie, or Melichus' passing and our brand new fur-kids. I'm pretty sure it's the 20 months between Melichus (RB 10/31/03) and Narsil and Mithril who came home on 5/29/05.

The first 30 years and 3 months of my life, until Chinook came into it. She was with me for 5 days and died in my arms on 30 March 1978. I wasn't quite ready in July, but couldn't say no. Shasta arrived on 28 July and I have not been kitty-less since then.

I believe it was one year. Our family cat passed away when I was a senior in high school, I went my freshman year of college without one (can't quite keep one in the dorms hehe) and then got Waffle that summer!
